SUMMARY STATEMENT
My career has always been in art, illustration, graphic design, fine art and art education. I continuously move among these 4 categories, adding to and refining my skills both as an artist and as a communicator. My primary motivation is to be of service through teaching, participation in the art community and to enjoy my talent
